Wow, Did you know roasted garlic is delicious to eat, right from the oven and squeezed out of the cloves? Well, after it has cooled off a bit anyway. Roasting the garlic makes it mild, sweet, and flavorful.
It is absolutely wonderful to add into many recipes. See Dairy-Free Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes recipe. It can be used as a spread on bread or crackers, mixed with butter or sour cream to top on to baked potatoes and other veggies as well as pasta.
